During my highly precise and extensive studies; I have come to the conclusion that in order to capture screen shots in FEAR and the Expansion pack, that the F8 key is in fact the simplest means of doing this with out using 3rd party programs.
If this means does not work for you then I would have to conclude that you have an id10t error on your hands.

Brought to you by PBS. Television for kids.

I'm sorry I just couldn't resist. All in good humor.

That would have to be an MS id-10t error there since it's their brand of keyboard! :p

But the real idea behind finding a program for captures is not only for FEAR but games where the screens are in other formats like bmp, png, tga, whatever. Due to the size and formats they have to converted into jpgs by first opening each one and saving from one format to jpg. When you have hundreds of them... :eek: !

(it does take up drive space when they are in two or more different file types! plus the added time on top of that? :confused: :eek: :eek: :eek: !!!)

Believe it or not you go multi dimensional in FEAR as well as in PREY at times. That's a part of the game itself to give the appearance of reality being distorted. Then there's the screens(video clips) where "memories" or supposed ones are seen showing... :eek: ! as you go through maternity wards where "things" are being done. oh no! The game's titile sums that up!

( do you have F.E.A.R.? :eek: :eek: :eek: !!!) 1280x1024 70fps on Radeon X1300 Pro pci-e card also leaves room for improvements!
Well to totally avoid getting into one of them discussions with you.... Yes I have and played F.E.A.R ;). Never once saw jagies like that though... either way who cares... right?

edit:

I was about to ask the same thing... I've never played more than the Demo and Fear Combat, but the players don't look anything like that in mine.

yea they really don't. He tried to explain it away with confussion again :p. Some of those scenes (like the guy talking through the door) are just regular scenes. No reason why they would look different then any other.

The graphics are clearly turned down in the game... would have been much simpler and to the point for PC eye to say that :). It really does not matter if he wants to turn down the settings. Why do you suppose he cannot just say so? :).

The only thing turned off in the game is the antistropics and antiliasing due to the card here used here(MSI Radeon X1300 Pro). The description of jaggies suggests you are referring to the distortion like lines going in all directions from the body found in the chair. The mirroring effect is a part of the game itself. If you play it you will find that out.

Once you go past that room and come back when other F.E.A.R. squad members you travel with catch up with you there is no distortion seen. But the lack of being able to capture more then the few seen with a short lived shareware and the next effort to use the F8 key during game play hasn't gone into more detail there. The only things reduced to medium are the reflections off of water and the intensity of the lights. That prevents too much glare from hiding details.

I already told everyone why his pictures are so pixelated! It's because he has pixel doubling in the settings turned on. Try it out, guarantee you'll see the same thing you see in his shots.

Edit: In order to clear up some confusion, I took these shots.

Why do you insist on doing this?

"Mofo" isn't actually a bad word. Last time I checked, when someone says "Bugger(d)" its the same thing as the "F" Word, I don't see them being accused of anything, just because its not actually the word doesn't mean it doesn't mean it..

I think MY new word for the "F" Word is going to be Cooffle.

This way I can say:
"Cooffle you Blue" and get away with it because its not a real word. I'm insisting that it means the same as the "F" word, but it truly doesn't because the word doesn't exist...

So, now that I proved a point...

Cooffle your infraction and Cooffle you Blue!

Now why'd you have to go doing that? Was it so necessary or did it just make you feel big?

you do deserve it, and you have been temporarly banned.

A swear word has nothing to do with the symantics and everything to do with context and intent.
Telling a moderator to f' off, is unacceptable and would have warrented a ban on its own, regardless of the 2 infractions you already had.

Why would you ever want pixel doubling? As someone else said, those screen shots are sharp enoug to cut someone. :p
